the Judge 10 grant writ for

Ihe Judge told him that petition must

aud that the court had adjourned until 10
o'clock.
Hunt departed, saying that he would ap-
pear in court and make an application re-
gardess OF Linggs attempt 81 suicide.
Hunt appeared before Judge Baker at 10
clock aud made formal application for q
writ in Lingg's case and was refused.
Tuesday night Lingg gave out mis- fare
well address, which was written for the
Atua Parsons old paper. In it he re-
iterated az length his grievances, and closed
as follows:
wow. with last and earnest farewell to
all my friends and comrades, and with
final wishes Tor their prosperity, / close in
view OF the certainty that | shall never
have a chance OF seeing you again, my be-
loved comrades, with an earnest and hearty
wish for your future Success in life. Your
comrade. Hoch die Andrchie
LOUIS LIsGe."
O'Neil. one Of the guards who :. main on
duty before Linggs cell throughout the
day, declared that Lingg was the coolest
man in Cook county jail. He was very
pale, but his appetite was good and he slept
well.
Yesterday when one Of the guards told
him that tue papers had published his
letters 10 d. ID. Lum. the young bomb manu-
facturer expressed a strong desire TO read

slowly ploGded through the translation.
Engelhardt speaks German, and when APP
pealed 10 give the meaning OF the Eng
lish words in German. The doomed man
said the letter was an admirable translation
of the original. Turning 10 another page
OF the paper his eye caught the line "Lingg
will surely hang" Calling Engleharf, he
asked: What IS the meaning OF this word
surely In German?
EngIehart told him, and Lingg. laugh
Ingiy. observer:

His manner was such that Englehart
joined IN the laugh.

tie was told that Eds Mueller had not
been seen, and his next question was:
Has my 'Schstz lsweetheart) gone TO
Springfield2''
This question was answered in the
Affirmative. He seemed pleased and re-
marked that if he could have seen her he
would have told her to stay at home.
How the dynamite was smuggled into
the cell Is not known, but II is generally
believed that there IS a traitor among the
death watch, who gave him the dynamite
and cap. This IS only theory in the
Sberiff's Office.
Lingg died a. 2.55 this afternoon.
